30under30 is an Anthill initiative that was launched in early 2008 to encourage and promote entrepreneurship among young Australians. Each year, Anthill invites readers to nominate young Australian entrepreneurs deserving of recognition for their outstanding entrepreneurial endeavours.
The Australian Web Industry Association AGM was held on the 4th August at the Velvet Lounge in Mt Lawley. 5 committee members were elected (or re-elected) and I was one of the new members elected.
It’s exciting to be part of the committee that can hopefully take AWIA to a new level this year. I’m looking forward to our first committee meeting to get the ball rolling.
Formerly Port 80 Inc, the Australian Web Industry Association represents businesses, individuals and students involved in the web industry and aims to:
Further the advancement of the web industry within Australia;
Educate the general public about the role of professionals in the web industry;
Foster greater ties with like-minded organisations.
The Committee
As Managing Director of The Frontier Group, I have nominated to be on the committee in one of the upcoming vacant positions.
As a reasonable size business in the industry it would be good to have a voice within the association and help craft the future of the web industry Australia wide. Paid AWIA members can vote at the AGM (as well as submit a proxy vote).
